Pros

New Visionary CEO (change is in the air), great smart people to work with, headquarters office in SJ looks & feeling like your working in a luxury hotel, cafe food tastes extremely good, & base compensation higher than most competitors.

Cons

Need to get with the times, old school mentality still exists with senior leadership team, management team needs some serious work they don't know how to manage, and a lot of employees who have been there ALONG time 10 plus years that aren't bringing anything new and like to do things one same old way they can't think outside of the box any more (time for them to be moved OUT)

Pros

Products are good and compete well against Cisco. Good/best sales people work thier tails off and get good starts - then support fails them.

Cons

The best sales people have left and newer/good ones leave every quarter. Always working on single quarter smaller deals vs. longer term large strategic deals. End-result is no one makes great money. Channels are still weak and no one seems to fix.
